Aquamarine Water Solutions supplies a range of water treatment chemicals for industrial and municipal operations to optimise the performance and safety of your water treatment plant.
We have partnered with Aquatech as our trusted manufacturer of water purification chemicals to bring premium-quality, NSF-certified chemicals to sub-Saharan Africa.
Benefits of our water treatment chemicals:
- Effectively treat contaminants and pathogens
- Lower operating costs through reduced chemical dosing requirements and cleaning frequency
- Reduced maintenance costs through maintaining optimum water cycle condition
- Solutions for any industrial or municipal plant application
Our water treatment chemicals:
Membrane water treatment
Prevent scale and bacterial growth on your Reverse Osmosis, Nanofiltration, Ultrafiltration and Microfiltration membranes, extending membrane life and save costs.
Cooling water treatment
Prevent particulates and reduce scaling and fouling that may restrict continuous water flow within your petrochemical plants, oil refineries, HVAC systems, with our cooling water chemicals.
Boiler water treatment
Control your scaling and corrosion, and remove particulates in heat exchange water circuits with these boiler chemicals. Used for boiler and heating applications of low, medium and high pressure boilers.
Wastewater treatment
Remove and eradicate destructive pathogens, hazardous chemicals, detergents and toxins while reducing odour with our wastewater treatment chemicals.
Coagulation and flocculation water treatment
Clarify water streams and remove cloudiness and solids cost-effectively, with our flocculation and coagulation chemicals.
Primarily used for potable water clarification in bottling plants and sewage water treatment systems.
Supplying water purification chemicals to South Africa for 20+ years

Frequently asked questions:
What are the chemicals used in water treatment?
There are many different chemical formulas used to treat the water cycle,
determined by the treatment process and which harmful substances are
found in the water. These include: flocculants, polymers, biocides,
membrane antiscalants, and more.
What are the chemicals used in industrial water treatment?
A wide range of water purification chemicals are used to in the industrial
water treatment cycle, including antiscalant chemicals, cooling and boiler
chemicals, wastewater chemicals, flocculation and coagulation chemicals.
How are chemicals removed from water?
A common method to treat water is with a filter, which removes impurities
from water with either physical barriers or chemical and/or biological processes.
What is the process of flocculation?
Flocculation water treatment is a chemical filtration process, where flocculants
(chemicals that stimulate water purification) cause clot-like masses of unwanted
sedimentation and particles in water (a ‘floc’). This ‘floc’ can then be removed
from the water more easily.
What chemical is used for flocculation?
Flocculants depend on which substances are to be removed from the water.
Examples include: aluminium sulphate, aluminium chloride, sodium aluminate,
ferric sulphate, ferrous sulphate, ferric chloride, ferric chloride sulphate, hydrated
lime and magnesium carbonate.
Can you use Chlorine for water purification?
Another common water purification method is chlorine water treatment, which is
the process of adding chlorine for the disinfection of drinking water and killing
germs in the water cycle.
Aquamarine is making every drop count.
You can too.
Why is water purification important?
Globally, the supply of clean water is a critical challenge to all, with a growing demand as a result of its finite supply.
A sustainable and clean water source is fundamental for both the world’s population and its economy to prosper.
Aquatech has 30+ years’ experience in the water purification industry, developing industrial and municipal water treatment solutions to overcome water-scarcity challenges.
